A security source confirmed that at least 8 ISIL Takfiri terrorists, including an Afghan national commander, were killed in the Hashed al-Sha’abi Shiite volunteer forces’ operations in the Eastern parts of Salahuddin province.

“Al-Hashed al-Sha’abi forces began a wide-scale operation against the ISIL terrorists’ positions in the Western part of Matbija in the Eastern side of Salahuddin, which resulted in the killing of at least 8 militants, including the Afghan Abu Talha,”

The ISIL Takfiri terrorists currently control shrinking swathes of Syria and Iraq. They have threatened all communities, including Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians, Ezadi Kurds and others, as they continue their atrocities in Iraq.

Senior Iraqi officials have blamed Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and some Persian Gulf Arab states for the growing terrorism in their country.

The ISIL has links with Saudi intelligence and is believed to be indirectly supported by the Israeli regime.
